How do I get out of being a nurse?

Rating:
(votes: 0)


I've been a nurse for 4 years. I worked as a registrar/unit secretary/nurse's aid for 4 years before that. I like people. However, I'm not a really good nurse. I try, but I'm slow and recently I opened my stupid fat mouth and said something TOTALLY inappropriate to one of my patients. Like I ended up telling a teen that pot was safe....I don't know why that came out of my mouth, well I do, but I don't. Anyway, I'm a ****** nurse and would really appricate some advice on other jobs I could do in nursing with minimal patient interaction or other careers out side of nursing that have minimal customer contact but maybe wouldn't have to go to school for another 4 years to get into.

Thanks for any suggestions a head of time.

I'm not sure we should encourage nurses who don't want to participate in patient care to become leaders and educators.

I have to say Op, I did laugh out loud when I read your reason why. I am weird that way, I know.

Quote from AOx1Sorry, this is not the case unless you only teach online or lecture. I teach lecture and clinical. I have ten students each day, with 2-4 patients each. I am in each room at least once, barring some emergency. I don't consider that minimal contact with patients.
